Lakeside Lover (Happy Birthday Angela)

someday you will be more than a mere wish
made beside the moss grown fat on flat weathered rocks
jutting forth from the murky depths
teeth in the mouth
of the man
fallen from the moon
gentle lapping waves wash over
your shimmering smooth surface
as the sun fades into the horizon
somewhere my lakefront lover
shares sighs carried betwixt longing hearts
shares sighs carried on the back of autumn's gentle breeze

oh wherefore art thou, thine juliet
why must i wait alone in anguish
why are you not beside me
hair blown delicate by the current of air
whilst the waves crash o'er rocks
saliva cresting over stone teeth
saliva encapsulated behind ours
travels between tongues
coming to rest in combining of two
behind one glorious lakefront sunset

i wait for your wet embrace
i beg you keep me waiting not longer
for with absence the heart grows fond
but my soul weeps salt-capped tears
until your fair arrival
